We have recently discovered that many of the variables on our site are not enclosed by cflock tags. As a result, the CF service would restart at times when we had high volume. We were never sure why. Now we are. We are now going through the code and doing a great deal of clean up. The point we are unsure of is how long we should set our the timeout for. Is there a rule of thumb for timeout length? Exclusives vs read-only? We've seen many examples of cflock tags around code with timeout amounts varying widely. Sometimes we see 3 seconds, other times 10 seconds and even 60 seconds. What happens if CF can't get a lock before the timeout, will it wait, skip that code or error out? We are still on CF 5.0 and we are doing this clean up to get ready to upgrade to MX 7.
